]]> Theresa May’s Majority Becomes A Minority https://teachingkidsnews.com/2017/06/12/theresa-mays-majority-becomes-minority/ https://teachingkidsnews.com/2017/06/12/theresa-mays-majority-becomes-minority/#comments Mon, 12 Jun 2017 10:52:25 +0000 https://teachingkidsnews.com/?p=16272 The British Prime Minister may be regretting her decision to call an early election.
Theresa May and her political party, the Conservative Party, were the leaders in the UK (United Kingdom). They had a “majority” government. (In other words, they had more “seats”—or representatives—in the House of Commons than all of the other political parties, combined.) That’s important, because having a majority means that you can really get things done—you won’t be voted down by the other parties. May hoped that by holding an election, she could expand her majority even more.
However, things didn’t go as she planned.
